About John Collins

Sarasota natives now living in the Northeast, we know the area and have always admired this beautiful building directly on the 2+ miles of world famous white sand beaches of Siesta Key in Sarasota.

John Collins purchased this condo in 2012

Why John Collins chose Florida South Central Gulf Coast

Equipped for use by my family as often as we can make it back to paradise - we offer our Penthouse to the discriminating vacationer who wants both a beautiful natural setting and the modern technology and comforts needed to easily stay in touch with the 'real world' back home!

What makes this condo unique

Located directly on the #1 rated beach in the USA, this unit is all new (renovations completed during the summer of 2012), on the quiet and secluded top floor with a separate entrance across from Siesta Key's only glass elevator to the beach. Crystal Sands has two heated pools, one directly on the beach. For your convenience, the unit also has on-site management for check-in and to offer any assistance you may need during your stay.

Comfortable Condo with a spectacular view

The apartment has large sliding glass doors in the family room, which allows for a beautiful, un-obstructed view. We appreciated greatly the benefits of quiet, that the split bedroom layout provides. The condo is well decorated, very well stocked -there are even two bathroom robes in the master bedroom. It is clean, with comfortable beds (sheets are super soft) and comfy furniture. Every single room has an ocean view, even the kitchen. There are a few grocery stores nearby. Some clothing stores, restaurants/bars, and a convenience store are in walking distance.

If you don't feel like driving to a dinner downtown S.Key, the local shuttles will pick you up, and bring you back for a small tip - $5 per person on average. We enjoy long walks, and there are plenty beautiful sites.

The check-in, and the check-out both were a breeze.

Highly recommend.

Great Condo

Our second extended stay at this wonderful condo. The view is spectacular and the furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. We were very much at home here, and the owner is great. Everything you need is provided. We will be back next year!

Extremely happy! Highly recommended.

This condo is very beautiful and very much worth the price. It has been totally remodeled with very tasteful décor, furnishings and finishes. The views from the 12th floor condo of Siesta Key Beach are stunning. We couldn't have been more happy with our stay and accommodations and plan on coming back often. Absolutely perfect!

Owner's Response: Thanks you for choosing our vacation home for your stay on Siesta Key -- come back soon!

Amazing vacation condo!!!

We celebrated Christmas and New Yeas here with friends and family. Breath taking views from every room. The lanai was perfect for coffee and relaxing with a cocktail at night. The firework display on New Year Eve was in creditable. We had the best view around. The attention to details and decorate made you feel right at home. Great local restaurants and perfect beach for walking. The unit had all the local information needed for your stay. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and can’t wait to come back.

2017 was the 27th year of the Best Beaches list, put together by Dr. Stephen Leatherman (also knows as 'Dr. Beach'), director of Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research in Miami -- and Siesta Key was his #1 pick again this year!

In addition to its sparkling sand and beautiful water, Siesta Beach, Leatherman said, boasts of the perfect waves, not for surfers, but for kids and families to play in. Rather than feet, the waves are measured in inches and the beach gradually slopes into the Gulf waters, making it a very safe area for children.

Following is a representative independent review of Siesta Beach by Jerry Chandler from December 19, 2012:

The world is rife with “perfect beaches” – places remote and removed where you can travel in time and space. Problem is, they are, well, remote and removed. To really register, a beach needs to be comparatively accessible, as well as consummately wonderful.

As for the first criteria, how ‘bout Sarasota? It’s close, on Florida’s lower Gulf Coast. As for wonderful, Dr. Stephen Leatherman (a.k.a. ‘Dr. Beach) labeled Siesta Key Beach the number one beach in the country last year.

The folks at Visit Sarasota County echo Leatherman’s lauding of this eight-mile long swath of sun, sand and sea oats on the Gulf of Mexico. The west side of the barrier island is where you want to be. The white sand beach is dazzling, your bare feet making a satisfying silica‘scrunch, scrunch’ and you head to the water beyond.

The area is perfect for constructing your own personal sand castles, launching that colorful kite you’ve always wanted to fly, or merely chilling out and listening to the sound of the surf wash away the noise of a workaday world back on the mainland.
